The COVID-19 pandemic pulled a number of issues into the spotlight, and one of the brightest spotlights fell on health care supply chain issues. Most stories focused on securing enough masks for medical professionals early in the pandemic, but everything from hand sanitizer to IV bags to medical tubing became an issue for the healthcare community. Crisis creates the opportunity for change, especially when it comes to the supply chain and the healthcare industry.
With that thought in mind, the National Association of Manufacturers recently released a study, “Advancing Resilience in the U.S. Health Care Supply Chain After the COVID-19 Pandemic: Four Areas of Opportunity,” outlining steps to improve health care supply chain resilience to allow manufacturers in the United States to better prepare for and adapt to the next disruption.
We’re joined today by Associate Professor and Director of the Manufacturing Policy Initiative at Indiana University Sameeksha Desai, who led the study.
